How will it run on i5-3570k

[Ocelote.12]

It's below minimum requirements, but have anyone tried?

You can try it, and refund it if you can't play. It's also on EAPlay for just a couple bucks.

What are your other specs?

[Ocelote.12]

I have an active EA Play subscription, but I don't want to download the game yet without a reason because my HDD free space is low.

Other specs are GTX 1060 3Gb / 16 Gb RAM

[Hello]

“Its below minimum requirements”

I think you just answered your own question mate.

i have same cpu in a pc, should be fine. i play it on my main pc with i7 3770k and it plays fine. providing you have a decent gpu. i have gtx 1060 6gb.

[badtigra]

have the same cpu, play fine in desktop mode, but no dice in VR. this is with 16 gb ram and a 1660 super.

It's not below minimum; it's about the same.

When comparing CPUs, the main thing is the core and thread count (in this case, both CPUs have 4 cores and 4 threads). Just Google the CPU and click on the first result and it'll say.

Speed is likely to be close enough to the same too, as is the case with these CPUs. So it's fine. GPU is more important with games anyway.

I ran it on Max settings completely fine with a 1060 6GB and 16GB of ram (60FPS on a 2K). You can always turn down settings, but it is not as resource intensive as I expected it to be.

Resource requirements are pretty low for such a pretty game, I bet an AMD Phenom II X4 and GTX 680 would run it. Anyone tried?

That would be above the minimum requirements so there's no need to try.

Though this is a common misunderstanding about PCs... DirectX and OS aside, anything can run anything. GPU etc. just dictates how much FPS you get at any resolution and graphics settings.

runs fine on my i5-2500 with 2060

It runs fine on my i5-3470 only some modes (fleet battle mostly) are prone to crashes.

Ive just upgraded from a AMD Phenom II X4 - running a GTX 750 Ti and it ran really well, even lower graphic settings still looked good. Ive been playing it everyday since 26th Dec.

[badtigra]

i forgot to add, although i have the same cpu i had some really really awful stuttering, until i updated my graphics drivers, so you'll want to make sure everything is updated. i can actually play in vr now with updated drivers with very little stuttering.

Thanks to all for answers.
